American beers are not easy and cheap to come by in Jamaica. I can't speak for CN but when we were at CTI you could get red stripe anywhere and Heineken at the piano bar. I'm a big dark beer fan so those options were hard to take at first until I remembered where I was. I did however manage to grab a few local stouts from the nearby convenience store to quench the dark beer desire between the many many many red stripes I had.

Can anyone list the names of beers available at CN? Specifically varieties of Corona, or Tecate. We just recently tried Tecate in Vegas and loved the taste. Loved that it also had a relatively low alcohol content (3.6).

No, they do not provide Mexican beer, and no, they do not provide American beer with maybe the one exception of Miller Lite. They carry Jamaican beer throughout the resorts, including regular Red Stripe and low-alcohol Red Stripe Light, and you may also find Heineken and possibly Guinness at limited places such as the piano bars.

I know, it may be torture to go a week in the tropical paradise of Jamaica without the world-renowned, high-quality, watered-down beers such as Mich Ultra and Miller Lite, but hopefully the unlimited varieties of frozen concoctions and other drinks will get you through such a travesty.

As a self proclaimed 'beer snob', I did not mind the change of pace of Red Stripe and tropical drinks rather than my 8% or above beer I usually consume at home. Did I wish I had one every once in a while, sure. I certainly survived and I'm going back, regardless of the beer selection.

Amen... Red Stripe is great for what it is and where you are at that moment.

On the beach, I would love to have a choice of 1/10,000th of the beer selection we have here in the States, but not including Bud, Miller, Coors, etc. .... business plan... Jamaican craft brewery?

You might not want to do it at an all inclusive resort, but at CN you can buy beer (and other stuff) at a gas station across the street that has a small convenience store. I love grabbing a beer there when we fly TimAir home...store is 50 feet from the TimAir terminal.

In 2005, the CN nude beach had a cooler for beer and a cart that dispensed a couple of different frozen drink mixes. I thought I had heard that since then, there is now full bar service at the nude beach. Is this true?
